Subject: A Man! Oh, and Cotton
Subject: A Man! Oh, and Cotton
Charlotte would rather read her Movieland magazine with Elvis on the cover than be part of the Bennett family's camping trip. But after they climb into their '58 Ford Fairlane station wagon for a holiday i the Smoky Mountains and erect their COTTON tent with COTTON sleeping bags, near other COTTON tents, she meets up with jock Dan. He wears COTTON. Actually, it's all very innocent; he doesn't even take off his shirt but Charlotte is all excited nonetheless. Dan seems to move in with them. After more mentions of COTTON, Charlotte and her family leave. But looky, Dan! Here's another family with an uninterested daughter. The cycle of jock inaction continues.
Stock music by Jack Shaindlin, and Harry Bluestone/Emil Cadkin. The narrator could work a little closer to the mike.

Great and fun film that yes, is a part travelogue, and part the wonders you can do with cotton canvas. A camping triip is taken in the smoky mountains. Poor daughter Charlotte is all phooey about the trip though. But she brightens up when she sees the mammoth tent the family has pitched (3 rooms!) and most of all, she's caught some other camper's eye named Dan. The family have an enjoyable time camping (usually because of Cotton). Soon though, Charlotte and family have to leave, and they do, leaving Dan alone. But as soon as they leave, another family arrives with another daughter! Man, does Dan ever leave? Reccomended!
